Do you think this stuff would work for keeping muskrats from burrowing under my deck?

As a rule, it requires repeated use and after time they begin to avoid the area. I doubt it will remove a nested critter.

Laurie, I suppose it depends on if muskrats are afraid of foxes. I really don;t know teresa

I used this in a raised bed, some large containers, and around some newly planted plants. It seemed to help keep the critters out of those, but I think it would take a truckload to work around my fence, and eventually the rain washes it away. On my fence I have tried putting a one-foot-wide chicken wire topper to discourage them climbing over, tree tanglefoot spread on the chainlink, spraying with garlic oil, spraying with orange oil, even aluminum foil. I just purchased an electric fence charger and wire from amazon and will be installing that near the top of the fence. Maybe THAT will stop the raccoons.

I didn't have any "critters" even try to climb up into it - I'm sure that tall animals like a deer would be able to nibble, but the small ones like chipmunks didn't even try. I did have one chipmunk who kept running across my deck though - the tomato plants backed up to my deck and he was eating any tomato he could find through the deck slats. I would think if you are concerned, you could put something like chicken-wire on the inside edges before you add your garden dirt.

It works at keeping my cats out. Also keeps me out when I forget to slide it out of the way. I would say yes for your dog although mine has never tried.

I doubt it very much. To be sure, I would write or Email the Company. You don't want to leave this stuff lying about outside as it will poison many other animals, not just rodents.

I live on the edge of a wooded area on the coast of Maine. My garage has a dirt floor and is easily accessed by rodents--I have tried a combo of peppermint oil full strength, moth balls and am hoping to keep mice out of the car that i leave in there for the winter. If you have any other ideas post them here. I hope it works.

It seems to keep all kinds of critters away. I used it around my garden and works great, i then started to spray around my garbage cans and they don't seem to be bothered by anything anymore. I am not sure if it was coons or possum getting in trash but it doesnt happen anymore. I went straight to their website and called them and they sold me a concentrate bottle that should make about 5 gallons of this stuff. It was a little pricey but only stuff i ave found that works this well.

It looks like rat poison pellets, other animals could be exposed to it. I put some on my deck railing but they didn't touch it.

No, I don't think it would work. It helps the fight against pests, but it only helps the fight, it doesn't prevent them from coming in.

I can't say for sure. It keeps raccoons n deer out OK. Not sure if it will scare them enough to keep them away. When the ground is wet, it hurts to touch it,even worse in bare feet.

Effective enough for scaring birds and keeping them from messing on our deck... but not sure about your boat. We used the sizeable hole on the bottom to slide it onto a piece of pvc pipe as far up as it would go. Winds have never toppled it... i think this method 'could' possibly work on your boat.

I would think if it keeps cats away, (very well I might add), it would keep rabbits away. Not Positive but it is logical.You may have to turn up to max output which is a lot because my neighbors complained it woke them up, so I turned it down a bit.

Barbara, personally, I would investigate other products. Based on my experience applying this to our deck, I wouldn't recommend.

I used the product for something totally different than advertised for... but... we lived in an old house and used steel wool to stop up holes to thwart mice, the wool will eventually rust completely, how fast depending on humidity. Copper would last longer. We eventually used expanding foam, but you have to be careful of the amount used or it can warp wallboard. I think this product would probably be great for rodent inhibitor. Me? I unraveled it to use for copper 'yarn'... go figure

Not well. It's basically wood chips in a pouch. If it stays dry it will be fine... I would try covering unit in hardware cloth - it comes in 1/4 inch squares and that should keep out mice.

I have to disagree with "Jay" and say, in my experience, yes! I bought this specifically to keep deer out and it works. I live in a town that has no culling, so deer are everywhere. I just wrapped this around my plants and I didn't lose anything this year! What might have worked in my favor is that I didn't try to make a fence or anything. I container garden, so I just wrapped the netting around my plants so they were completely covered. The plants I didn't wrap, a few flowers, did get eaten toward the end of the summer.

Don't know, but guessing a "no". It's the smell that keeps pests/varmints out of your flower bed,it's applied above ground, so probably moles & voles would tunnel underground & underneath any repellant.
